FC Porto defeated Nacional 1-0 this Sunday in Madeira, in a match from the 22nd round of the Primeira Liga that keeps the Dragons at the top of the table, with at least a four-point lead over Sporting (should the Lions win against Famalicão).
Several players highlighted the importance of the victory on social media, remembering Pinto da Costa, who passed away exactly one year ago, and Samu, who suffered a serious injury in the classic against Sporting and will be sidelined until the end of the season.
“A very important victory. A day of remembrance and tribute to the eternal President. Thank you to the thousands of fans present, your support was very important,” wrote captain Diogo Costa. “Important win!! We move forward,” reads Thiago Silva’s post. “Samu, this was for you. Stay strong,” said Jan Bednarek, the scorer of the winning goal.
